Most practical book I found for deciding on a color scheme...

I checked out a huge pile of books from the library on color schemes for the "country" home, in preparation for decorating our 1903 house. I ended up buying this one only, and I refer to it frequently. I think it would be helpful for people decorating a variety of types of houses, not just "country." The author presents several color palettes that are highly varied from one another, each reflecting a unique country house "personality." And instead of just three or four coordinating colors, the palettes have about ten colors. There are good descriptions of the colors and the role they play in the palette. The combinations are classic, but infused with interesting twists, and there are excellent photos of the colors used in actual, attractive rooms. The palettes I saw in other books were much less interesting, and the photos of the rooms did not look like rooms I would want to emulate.
